The game never ceases to amaze me. Given the relatively little time I had to spend on the game (114 hours), I have seemingly just played through at best 20% of the game. Now I found myself in Riften and I can say after Falkreath, Ivarstead, Winterhold and Dawnstar, this is the most awesome place to be in. The sheer size of the town dwarfs the former ones and equals to maybe 2/3rds of Whiterun (which is more than awesome, so much stuff to do).

For enchanting, just go buy all the soul stones you can and enchant daggers(lousy gems) or jewelry(greater gems) with absorb health and sneak. You can even make profit from it and it's one of the fastest to level up.

I did not say Riften was awesome because the town looked gorgeous, it just seems the most down-to-earth and it features very good planning for a town, plus more than enough places to go to explore. It does look good, different from any other and given the surrounding autumnish atmosphere, it kicks ***.

EDIT:

Do random boots with carry weight + archery/one-handed, levels up enchanting well if you want it. Just be sure to have a surplus of soul gems because that one took me 30 levels to get to 100 :/ (around 80hours of exploration). Remembering to cast soul trap when dual wielding destruction spells is kind of hard..

I've spent the last 2 days on a Breton character who was gonna focus on a particular weapon granted by an Orc Stronghold... and now those quests are effing up for me completely. No fun console commanding myself out of this... will have to start over and be more careful... make separate save games more often so I can go back...
